Actually you do if you're going to say something as obtuse as "because there were only 100 or so Celtic soccer jersey wearers therefore most Irish people support this visit". Your reasoning is so clearly faulty it's risible that you expect to be taken seriously.

OK, they were not all wearing Celtic jerseys. I apologise to Celtic FC for any unwarranted link link that may be made with the football club.

Given your own ill-thought-out ideas, the more you talk about people who disagree with you as being "fools" "morons" and the like, the more you in particular denude those words of meaning.

They are fools. That has nothing to do with their opinion being different to mine or anyone else though. Purely down to their foolish way of protesting. they are making a shameful image of Ireland get broadcast around the world.

Can you give evidence that you have the intelligence to read a thread correctly: I didn't "claim that most people do not approve of the visit" - rather, I asked the British royalist poster with the user name Audrey Hepburn to support her contention that most people support this visit. Now, is this very basic distinction lost on you? In future, get your facts straight before talking shíte. Thank you.

Not sure that anyone has claimed that the majority of people would like to be out on the street waving flags in support. The majority of people are most certainly indifferent to it though, and it is still relatively safe to say that the majority of people hope that nothing bad happens during the visit.

Some people in this thread are living in the last century in their heads.

I thought that so far the visit has been a sucess.

Proper normalisation of relations between the two countries is paramount.

All this pettiness is very small minded!

Who are you, chap? Don't remember addressing you at all.

Who do you think you are, the Queen? A public forum means members of that forum can reply to anybody else on that forum. This is not a place for 'speak to me only if I want you to'.

Eh, he said

Protesters protesting British involvement and presence in Ireland
Protesters seen wearing British clothing
Protesters stupid.

Logic seems fine.

"who are ya" is that a chant hooligans use too?

They should have been singing "You are whom?"

When did Audrey Hepburn claim to be royalist?
Pretty sure she just said she welcomes the British Queens visit.
Whats wrong with that. Their our "best friend" internationally, our bigest trading partner and a country we have massive historic and cultural links with.
800 years of stuff that happened before you were born, yawn. What about the scotti invasion of Scotland, the Irish slavers who raided Britain constantly, again long time ago but least they dont seem to have the shoulder chip.

You did just copy and paste that, I hope!!

Anyway, once the visit is over, and the dust settles; I sincerely hope that the tension between the British establishment and the Irish people will be somewhat diffused.
Who knows, one day an event such as this may even pass off without the fanfare.
It's just another stepping stone.

I have an image of herself and himself arriving back to their suite in Farmleigh and putting their feet up with a nice cup of Barry's Gold Label.

At six o clock Her Maj asks Phil to stick the telly on so they can see themselves on the news.

Splendid, says he, as he clicks RTÉ 1 on the remote control only to be greeted by images of people praying and the sound of Bong Bong Bong......

At this point a baffled Phil turns to his wife and says..

"Jesus Liz, I knew our visit was symbolic, but I wasn't expecting the natives to cancel the news and turn to prayer".

:pac:

Dumped of course. I can't see the reason why they confiscate any flags.
